Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings The two fundamental types of energy Kinetic energy is the energy of movement – e.g. light, heat, electricity, moving objects Potential energy is stored energy that is dependent on an object's location or structure – e.g. chemical energy in bonds, electrical charge in a battery, a rock at the top of a hill – The most important potential energy for living things is the chemical energy stored in molecules
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Chemical energy is the energy that powers life The objects that move are electrons, which reposition during chemical reactions Potential energy can be converted to kinetic energy
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings 5.2 Two laws govern energy transformations Thermodynamics is the study of energy transformations The First Law of Thermodynamics – Energy can be changed from one form to another but cannot be created or destroyed
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings The Second Law of Thermodynamics – Energy doesn't tend to stay concentrated in a small space; it tends to flow toward becoming dispersed if it can – Ex. electricity in a battery, power line or lightning, wind from a high pressure weather system, air compressed in a tire, all heated objects, loud sounds, or boulders that are high up on a mountain. – Energy transformations increase disorder, or entropy, and some energy is lost as heat
All these different kinds of energy spread out if there's a way they can do so.
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings The Laws of Thermodynamics Availability and usefulness of energy: The amount of useful energy decreases when energy is converted from one form to another (second law of thermodynamics) Entropy (disorder) increases

Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Energy of Sunlight Living things must gain external energy in order to counteract the increase in their entropy
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings 5.3 Chemical reactions either store or release energy Endergonic reactions (stores energy) – Require an input of energy from the surroundings – Yield products rich in potential energy – Example:
LE 5-3a Reactants Products Amount of energy required Potential energy of molecules Energy required
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Exergonic reactions – Release energy – Yield products that contain less potential energy than their reactants – Examples: cellular respiration, burning
LE 5-3b Energy released Potential energy of molecules Reactants Products Amount of energy released
Heat Glucose Oxygen Chemical reactions ATP Energy for cellular work Carbon dioxide Water Cellular respiration An “Exergonic Reaction”
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Coupled Reactions Cells carry out thousands of chemical reactions, which constitute cellular metabolism Energy coupling uses energy released from exergonic reactions to drive endergonic reactions
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings The exergonic and endergonic parts of coupled reactions often occur at different places within the cell Energy-carrier molecules are used to transfer the energy within cells
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings ATP Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is the most common energy carrying molecule
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings 5.4 ATP shuttles chemical energy and drives cellular work ATP (adenosine triphosphate) powers nearly all forms of cellular work ATP is composed of one adenine, one ribose, and three negatively charged phosphates The energy in an ATP molecule lies in the bonds between its phosphate groups

Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings ATP powers cellular work through coupled reactions – The bonds connecting the phosphate groups are broken by hydrolysis, an exergonic reaction – Hydrolysis is coupled to an endergonic reaction through phosphorylation A phosphate group is transferred from ATP to another molecule

Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Spontaneous Reactions At body temperatures, spontaneous reactions proceed too slowly to sustain life
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Spontaneous Reactions Reaction speed is generally determined by the activation energy required Reactions with low activation energies proceed rapidly at body temperature Reactions with high activation energies (e.g. sugar breakdown) move very slowly at body temperature
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Enzyme molecules (proteins) are employed to catalyze (speed up) chemical reactions in cells
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Catalysts Reduce Activation Energy Catalysts speed up the rate of a chemical reaction without themselves being used up
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings 5.5 Enzymes speed up the cell's chemical reactions by lowering energy barriers HOW ENZYMES FUNCTION Energy of activation= Amount of energy that must be input before an exergonic reaction will proceed (the energy barrier) link: activation energy

Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings 5.6 A specific enzyme catalyzes each cellular reaction Each enzyme has a unique three-dimensional shape that determines which chemical reaction it catalyzes – Substrate: a specific reactant that an enzyme acts on – Active site: A pocket on the enzyme surface that the substrate fits into

Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Environmental Conditions Some enzymes require helper non protein cofactors molecules to function (e.g. certain B vitamins, Metal ions, organic molecules called coenzymes) Metal ions Vitamin B12
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings 5.7 The cellular environment affects enzyme activity Three-dimensional structure of an enzyme is sensitive to pH, salts, temperature, and presence of coenzymes
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Environmental Conditions Enzyme structure is distorted and function is destroyed when pH is too high or low Salts in an enzyme’s environment can also destroy function by altering structure
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Environmental Conditions Temperature also affects enzyme activity Low temperatures slow down molecular movement High temperatures cause enzyme shape to be altered, destroying function
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Environmental Conditions Most enzymes function optimally only within a very narrow range of these conditions
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings 5.8 Enzyme inhibitors block enzyme action Inhibitors interfere with an enzyme's activity 1.A competitive inhibitor takes the place of a substrate in the active site 2.A noncompetitive inhibitor alters an enzyme's function by changing its shape
LE 5-8 Substrate Enzyme Active site Normal binding of substrate Competitive inhibitor Noncompetitive inhibitor Enzyme inhibition
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings 3. In feedback inhibition, enzyme activity is blocked by a product of the reaction catalyzed by the enzyme
Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings 5.9 Many poisons, pesticides, and drugs are enzyme inhibitors Cyanide inhibits an enzyme involved with ATP production during cellular respiration Some pesticides irreversibly inhibit an enzyme crucial for insect muscle function Many antibiotics inhibit enzymes essential for disease-causing bacteria Ibuprofen and aspirin inhibit enzymes involved in inducing pain

Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings – Hypotonic solution: solute concentration is greater in the cell than in the solution Cell gains water through osmosis Animal cell lyses; plant cell becomes turgid – Hypertonic solution: solute concentration is lower in the cell than in the solution Cell loses water through osmosis Animal cell shrivels; plant cell plasmolyzes
